Not sure if you’re building your clinic the “right” way? If you're a physician entrepreneur, chances are you've asked yourself this question more times than you'd like to admit. You're questioning every decision—wondering if your slow growth means you're failing, or if you're even focusing on the right things.

The uncertainty can be exhausting. You're juggling patient care, family responsibilities, and endless to-do lists… often without clear proof that your hard work will pay off. Add in conflicting advice from well-meaning friends and family, and it's easy to lose momentum before your business even finds its footing.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the two distinct stages of building a business—the Proof of Concept stage and the Growth stage—so you can:

• Identify which stage you’re in right now (and what to focus on next)
  
  
• The biggest pain points to expect and how to navigate them without burning out
  
  
• What to focus on so you stop second-guessing and start building a repeatable, dependable revenue stream

If you've been feeling stuck, scattered, or unsure of your next move, this episode will give you the clarity and direction to focus on what actually matters so you can grow your clinic faster.
